A rare cause of subdural hematoma: Multiple septic brain embolisms in a child with infective endocarditis

Abstract

Cerebrovascular complications occur in 25%–70% of patients with infective endocarditis (IE). Among these complications, ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage and cerebral abscess are frequently seen and usually the consequence of vegetation embolization or ruptured infectious (mycotic) aneurysm. Acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) is a very rare complication of IE due to multiple septic brain embolisms. Presented herein was a 15-year-old child with a very rare presentation of ASDH, which resulted from ruptured mycotic aneurysm. To the best of our knowledge, only 13 cases have been reported in the literature with an ASDH due to IE. The reported case herein was the second child case with mycotic aneurysms- related ASDH and intracerebral hemorrhage. Also discussed were the pathogenesis, clinical manifestation, and management of this rare neurologic complication of IE in the current knowledge. The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical features and management of subdural hematoma in pediatric patients with infective endocarditis in light of the literature.
